Andy Gray leaves Sky Sports (continued)

[Swales lives]

Gray is one of the ones sueing the NOTW over the phone tapping

I'm sure that's just a coincidence, I don't think a nice bloke like Murdoch would hold a grudge.

Anyway, I'd love to be a fly-on-the-wall chez Grey this evening.
"Hi darling, how was work today?"
"Er er, okay, I'm just popping out for a pint of milk love."

amongst all this, where was the the big headlines on the skysports news,it did in my eyes showed what a load of hypocritcal set of shit stirring bast turds they really are, they rip into footballers and managers every single day and don,t we know it at mcfc, but when it comes to receiving the dirt where are they, f----g cowering under the veil of the olympic stadium, keys should be gone the man u arse licking shitehawk, send him to some god forsaken channell five show at 3 am in the morning, he would still be licking fergies bollocks on there, but anyway i didn,t mind gray he had his moments but his oppo is the turd of skysports?

To be fair, it's the top story on Sky News. He clearly doesn't have many friends there, although there is more than a hint of brand rescuing going on.

The Murdoch conspiracy is explained in the sidebar of this article:
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1350449/Andy-Gray-sacked-Sky-THIRD-tape-sexist-remarks-Charlotte-Jackson.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... ckson.html</a>

Definitely, standard thing for Sky to do is distance themselves from them and take the stance it's unacceptable which looks good. They knew about it though or turned a blind eye as it obviously was the normality for them to chat like that, that's why this has come out and they've had no choice now that its public to make it look like they are doing the right thing.

I'm not surprised Keys hasn't gone too as he presents the big matches but Gray is just a commentator really, easily replaceable.

I cant see ESPN letting Savage go when he calls a time on playing he will there main man. Cant take to seeing and hearing fat Sam and RedKnapp all the time I hope they get in a decent replacement. It cant be hard can it to find someone who knows there stuff about football.

I fancy SKY will be able to outpay ESPN.

some can't just like some men! The point is you shouldn't generalise. there are some very good female drivers and there are some poor refs/linesmen...even Gray and Keys couldn't always agree whether somthing was offside or not and at times they would debate on this on the 'final word' prog after the weekend games

so would you sack me for that comment?

He hasn't been sacked for the comments about Sian Massey, so it's not really comparable

Andy Gray is guilty of one thing and that is getting caught. Anyone on here who aint said a sexist remark is a liar. .

What about hairy arms?

I think she was supposed to be running the line at Crewe tonight but has been withdrawn.

LOL, and 99.9% of us are not professional broadcasters live on air, that could just make a difference....

Sky sports news usually fronted by a man in a suit and a woman with her tits hanging out, The Sun no need to say any more, The News of the World no need to say any more, Football First "eye candy" presenting it. Now all of a sudden they have become the spokeman for the "P C " brigade. Very strange.

from andy grays wikipedia
Gray fell for the former Olympic gymnast Suzanne Dando when she landed a job alongside him on Sky Sports in 1999. Gray told tabloid reporters that his womanising days were over: "With age, I hope, comes maturity. I certainly do not see myself with anyone else." [11]

Until recently he was engaged to Rachel Lewis, an ex-model and the former wife of his long-time friend and agent[12] and he wants to return to live in Back, Outer Hebrides on the Isle of Lewis in the near future.

Gray was married twice before, to Vanessa Taylor and Jacqueline Cherry. He has fathered five children, by four different women - his two ex-wives and former girlfriends Sara Matthews and Janet Trigg.[13]
